Philosopher and misogynist Friedrich Nietchze famously postulated in his work "The Gay Science" that God is dead and we have killed him. Our founding fathers held that the inalienable rights of man are deprived from his Creator in the Declaration of Independence. Senator Tom Harkin (D. Iowa) believes that government gives rights to the people. Therefore, Senator Tom Harkin appears to think he is our Creator, or at least that government is our Creator. At the very least, Tommy Boy seems to believe that government grants the rights that men enjoy. If that is indeed the case: A) the Constitution and Declaration of Independence are meaningless scraps of paper that we are spending way too much in tax dollars to preserve; and B) government can take away any right that it sees fit through legislation.
I'm not going to go as far as Glenn Beck does in the transcript linked to above, mainly because I think Tommy Boy and other politicians are too stupid to think through what they're saying. It does give an insight to how Tommy Boy and progressives feel government and the citizenry interact, as master and slave.
Our legislative branch, with the full support of the executive, is on a fool's errand, a drunk at 3 a.m. driving around in a stupor looking for another beer and God is dead and the people in the street be damned for they are above the law.
Good posts. Too bad that as many times as we inform these weasels of their errors, they keep ignoring us. Keep trying.
